Academic Event- 2019-20- Connect Week- Day 3



Second year-  As a part of connect week and a kickstart to academics we screened  'The Toilet : An unspoken History'. The documentary looks at the role of the toilet in our culture, exploring its social history in Britain and abroad, and also explores  possible future solutions to global sanitation issues.
The documentary was intended to create awareness among the students about such global issues and how they could play a vital role as 'Architects'  in exploring solutions.

Third year- As a part of connect week and a kickstart to academics we screened  'Home ',a documentary film by French Photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand.

The film is mostly is composed of aerial shots of various places on Earth, shot over 54 countries showcasing the geographical settings and species diversity on  the planet.

The film is about the diversity of life on Earth and how humanity is threatening the ecological balance of the planet.

Underlined statements in the documentay are how lives on earth are interlinked. And a disruption of any life may have cascading effect on the whole planet
The documentary leaves food for thought, regarding the direction we must take for our existence and all future developments.
